In Indonesia the custom of circumcision is a must for boys. How about in your country? #culture

No. Actually, there was recently a verdict by a federal court explicitly forbidding that, on count of the infants right of physical integrity, and him not being able to object. Before that it was also forbidden, but accepted as a religious practice. Now it's a solely surgical and surgeons aren't allowed to operate on patients without a need, with religion not qualifying as such.

Wow. Someone was actually telling me about this the other day. What has been the public reaction to that?

Some people don't care, some people think, that this makes religious life in germany impossible and some people think, that this is the next big step to become a modern culture, where religious aspekts don't influence the society...

At this moment it looks like there will be a law, that officially allows circumcision if it's done by a trained professional.
